LNP snub Qld corruption watchdog hearing

Queensland's opposition claims the committee overseeing the state's corruption watchdog is dysfunctional after snubbing a public hearing.

The Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee (PCCC) met to discuss the government's nominee to head to state's Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) on Wednesday morning.

Liberal National Party members Jeff Seeney and Trevor Watts claim they were only given short notice of the meeting, while Ann Leahy failed to make it there from her southwest Queensland electorate.

Numerous disputes over procedure led to Mr Seeney and Mr Watts walking out before the later public hearing with Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath.

Labor committee member Mark Ryan lambasted the opposition for shirking their responsibilities and labelled the walk-out an "absolute disgrace".

"Members of this committee have a moral and ethical duty to attend these meetings and a moral and ethical duty to consider proposed nominations by attorneys (general) for important positions within our integrity organisations," he told the hearing.

But Mr Watts hit back, defending their stance.

"What we saw today was Palaszczuk's puppets playing political games with the PCCC, agendas have been changed, the committee is clearly dysfunctional," Mr Watts said.

Ms D'Ath called on the committee to quickly accept or reject the government's nominee, understood to be Alan MacSporran QC, for the next CCC chair.

The LNP supports the government's nominee, but opposition committee members refuse to deliberate until the government approves their own nominee to chair the PCCC, Mr Seeney.
